My personal account was accidentally merged into a Business Account
I have a personal Dropbox account for my work as a journalist. My business partner created a new Business Account and invited me to join only to access certain files. When I went to accept the system...

When you merged your account into the team account, you effectively made the team the owner of your account. In order to leave the team, the team admin needs to convert your account back to an individual account. It's important that they don't just remove you from the team as doing so would delete your account. If that were to happen, the team admin only has seven days to restore your account.
After your account has been converted back to an individual account you'll be back on the Basic plan. You can then resubscribe to Plus, Professional, etc.
How do I leave the company Dropbox as I have left the company and I am still included in their media?

Hey there, Paul 11, let's jump right into this!
Based on the info you've provided, I understand that you are either part of a Business account, that you now want to leave. Or that you need to remove a shared folder/file off of your Dropbox account.
Would you mind clarifying a bit more, and also letting me know about your plan page, and what it reports, in order for me to have a clear visual, and provide you with the correct next steps please?
Keep me posted!
- Hi Megan. Thank you for your reply.
I used to work for a company and left it Oct 22. I recently received an email from Dropbox and saw that I was still linked to the company account.
I am trying to find out how to remove myself.
Thank you
